- would love to do something like that but I'm too well known in the area.
LD, I know that feeling. In my old hometown, the JW's would run as soon as they saw me. Reminds me of a trick I played on them. It was in the fall and everyone was raking leaves. I saw some sisters working a street on my way to the grocery store, so I pull around the block and get my rake out of the trunk, pulled my knit cap over my pointy ears and begin raking leaves into piles in some strangers yard, heh, heh, my back was to the street when the sisters approached me with a cherry "hello, were talking to your neighbors , blah, blah,etc" I spin around like Igor the hunchback and said, Yes, I'd love to talk to you!". The sister let out a whoop and began running down the sidewalk (over 60 years old) leaving sister new just standing in the yard, wondering what had just happened. I did that yard raking thing one other time, during their end of the world tract campaign in order to talk to JW's, and a neighbor came over and thanked me for helping out their sick neighbor who was in the rehab hospital. I did a real good job for them and had a great converstion when the JW's came by- I told them I was moving and to not come back when we were done.
if I am in Mcdonalds or some place I know JW's could be, I will scan for them and if I see them (a tie on kids at lunchtime on Saturday- yeah-JW's), I will try and sit next to them a start a conversation. They love to get free time in, they always want to talk to me.
